Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017Great atmosphere, a little skimpy on the wifi for a pretty quiet place. They do have the best BLT in town next to The Grove. Finally somebody realizes that avocado does not make things better.
Jessica FengAugust 16, 2013Looks like a great place to get work done, but the mental institute next door tends to attract some questionable people walking around in front. Locally sourced coffee. No line at 8:30AM.
Elizabeth FongNovember 27, 2015Cute little coffee shop, nice quiet atmosphere. Coffee/latte is pretty good. The people who work there don't seem to friendly or happy to be working there though.
JoycottDecember 2, 2013The coffee is amazing (get the Cubano), and the customers are too! Some of the friendliest and smartest people in the city hang out here.
twilioMarch 11, 2014During the day, grab the Chai Latte and get some work done at the window seat. Once happy hour arrives, they have some great brews on tap.
Claire LeeJune 7, 2013The playlist right now is fantastic. Gotta admit.. this pump-up music and the cool tech guys to my left are better fuel for productivity than any cup of joe
The food is really great, staff is really nice, coffee just doesn't cut it though. But do try the poached eggs :)
Richard GarciaMarch 6, 2015Always buy my morning coffee on the way to work here. Really good. Cappuccino and Cubano are pretty good.
Pam ☕️ OAugust 11, 2013Now serving Chromatic Coffee beans from San Jose. French press on tap is great to go.
Mehul KarMarch 5, 2016Always a good place to hangout for a bit. Nothing special about the food or coffee as far as I can tell, but they have a nice couch.
Kat 🐱July 29, 2016Feels like a college cafe where you can stay there and study or work all day. But their latte lacks body and tastes very watery.
Their americanos are the best I've had in the city. Also try the chicken pesto panini. I come here way too often..
Fast CompanyFebruary 14, 2011Nestle into a comfy couch at this techie hangout, and you might overhear the next Twitter being born. While you’re at it, order the lamb sliders--they're not a house specialty for nothing.- Shelly ZordichAugust 27, 2014The bacon bagel is very tasty and their selection of teas is fantastic.
Katie ZecharAugust 5, 2015You'll need a wifi code for EACH device. You can't use a code for your phone and computer.
Great place to grab a beer if you've already had too much coffee today.
Amazing lamb sliders, fantastic espresso drinks, & nice friendly employees.
Try the Soy Latte - Barefoot Coffee and my tenth free one -- what's not to love?
Rudy RigotJanuary 14, 2014It's annoying but kinda fair that they give you tickets every 2 hours to get wifi, and you have to buy something to get it; but it's unforgivable that they switch to 1-hour tickets when it's full.- Your coworkers want to go on a coffee run? Convince them to come here and get a beer instead!
Food & WineApril 21, 2011This café uses beans from Barefoot Coffee Roasters and also has outstanding small plates like a crab salad bruschetta.- Linh PhanNovember 24, 2014How much time you get on WiFi is based on how much you spend. For example, you get 1 hour if you spend $10 or less. Better than cafes with no WiFi at all!
Edward SanchezFebruary 19, 2010Great cafe with very nice staff.Shame about the music - bit too rocky for my liking - I prefer the starbucks collection of oldies.Good wifi!Not many vegan options but a few that can be made vega
This is the best coffee shop in SF if you want to work. Free wifi and lots of outlets.
Really good food for a small-ish coffee house. The soups are awesome.
Part of 'Hang Local' was built on the couch. Have a seat and Google search 'Hang Local' to learn more.
- Try the Lamb Kebab - with yogurt, chutney & rice. God must be Turkish!
Great Hacker Space. Good WiFi and good food. I like to work here.
All the food is good. Chicken pesto sandwich, pulled pork, lamb sliders, pizzas- If you get the cheese melt, be sure to request no goat cheese as they might otherwise put some in it.
- The Americano is great- quality espresso beans. Quite a relief from most places in town. :)
the cubano. the best chocolate croissants in SF, period. tuesday $10 beer flights that rock w/a roulette pairing of foodz. VERY geek friendly. and no attitude. total win.
If you are lucky you will have fresh squeezed orange juice.
Sasha SolomonOctober 15, 2015Nothing is really good here. I ordered a milkshake that looked (and tasted) like wet sand. The employees are super rude (they forgot my order and were pissed when I asked about it).

Michael Daniels - 9.0
"They use Verve for my Latte. It's light in a good way with some sweetness note and very smooth finish. Really chill place to enjoy a cup of coffee!"
